Go Stros #ForTheH

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

The Dodgers today acquired right-handed reliever Josh Fields from the Astros in exchange for minor-league first baseman Yordan Alvarez.

@AustinCory @SeanTPendergast Springer spent too much time watching the ball. That's why he didn't make it to 3rd.

Cole also pitched his worst game of the season in G1.

@BradeauxNBA Otis Birdsong was drafted #2 overall in 1977.

@BradeauxNBA Clarify to say no team has EVER won the Finals after going down 0-2 at home. The 2006 Heat came back down 0-2 to beat the Mavs in the Finals

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@JeremyBranham Gotta go with the hot bat.

Also, really need Tuve to start driving in runs again. Can't let Harris catch him in RBIs 😐

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RudyReaper @RooshWilliams You'd need a Japanese translator to ask him but I'm sure he'd agree

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@JeremyBranham Abreu will be entering his age-30 season when he hits free agency and will have consistent sustained production on his resume. Montero was 2 years older and only had the 1 good year (2022).

I think Abreu gets more AAV ($15M?) at possibly 5 years.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RooshWilliams @fyrebear Correct. The best Sengun defenders I've seen so far are Grant Williams, Draymond, and oddly enough, Bismarck Biyombo. I think it's the combo of the long arms and stout base that give Alpi the most issues. Not as effective at backing em down and he settles for contested flamingos

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RT__Juan @FlippinBatsPod @BenVerlander Sure it is, that's Carlos Peña!

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@DrewJLarson @RedNinetyFour He's been hurt so it was difficult to get that lineup into a rhythm. When healthy, Rockets are like 17-1 when Tari is starting.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@bJacob_22 @SleeperRockets Ja Morant won Most Improved Player in his 3rd year.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@AdamSpolane I think it's more that he loves it here and provided a little bit of a discount to stay.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@BiasedHouston @DiamanteAyo Definitely an uncharacteristic game from KD passing-wise. I can almost guarantee you we will not have another game this year giving up 33 second-chance points and 31 points off turnovers. Can't wait for the next Spurs game

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@BiasedHouston @DiamanteAyo Exactly. I believe most of these issues will be fixed in the film room on positioning when the trap comes. Defensively, definitely less zone. I know we're trying to mask the weaknesses in personnel but there's no way man-to-man would be carved up worse.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@seoulana_sol @RedNinetyFour He had 4 years and far more opportunity than most prospects are given. He will still have a long career being a volume microwave scorer.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RedNinetyFour Silas truly did himself no favors in his time here.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RedNinetyFour With the moves made this offseason, a clear hierarchy is finally established for the young core that will be for the best of the organization.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@RudyReaper @funakistats KD played the 2 his rookie year in Seattle. If this isn't the starting lineup, I guarantee we will see it in short spurts

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@Chandler_Rome It can join Chas and Orbit in the pen.

[Nick M @Nick11McDonald]

@ewblair @RyanLSack @JeremyBranham That exactly what happens. Sanchez always pinch hits when a righty reliever comes in. Today's lineup is fine with a good lefty on the mound
